    Just more evidence that the behavior and ideology of religious people doesn’t come out of a book. Protestant Christianity must be the best example of this. What other ideology could account for both liberation theology and prosperity gospel? I’d go further to say that the number of denominations is equal to the number of Protestants.

    This is why it’s so foolish for the non-believer to have opinions about how a “true” Christian ought to behave or ought to believe. In order to make that claim you imply:

    1. The authors of the Bible had a message
    2. That message was accurately recorded
    3. That message has been accurately preserved.
    4. That message is clear and understandable.

    At that point you might as well start confessing your sins because while you might lack belief, you’ve kept the faith.

      I mean, who’d have thunk that the guy who nailed the 95 Theses to the Church doors also wrote a book called “The Jews and their Lies.”

      Protestants had a stink on them from the beginning. Martin Luther was a dope.
